This is the 21st century. Arguably '+ipv6' ought to be the default behaviour of pppd anyway; there's no excuse for not supporting IPv6, when the worst that can happen is that you get a ProtRej when you attempt to talk IPv6CP.

But it's worse than that. I don't see any way to enable IPv6 at all. I can't even pass extra options to pppd (which I want to for things like naming the interface, when invoking it from NetworkManager, on openwrt, etc.)

Unless I'm missing something...?

Additional pppd options can be added to the default ppp options file, /etc/ppp/options.

Then they affect *all* ppp connections though,
